warren, pennsylvania. caller: good morning. i have one really just simple quick question here. the lady talked about how long it takes the government to do a study. how long they have been studying this. how long does the government takes to act on anything. how are we as consumers out here supposed to trust anybody when it takes so long for congress, for anybody to get anything done? it's frustrating, it's maddening, and i just don't understand why there are so many delays. thank you. guest: fran, i totally share your frustration some days. we worked on the food safety modernization act for over a decade. we worked with a number of members of congress, people like rosa delauro, henry waxman, john dingell in the house. we worked with dick durbin, tom harkin. these are senators. we have worked with so many really caring and wonderful members of congress who wanted to put food safety at the front of the congressional agenda, and even so it took a decade. so i share your frustration, but i also know that there are lots of important things happening here. during that time there was

they agree with warren buffett that this should be fixed. they have brought some of their own assistance to prove that same point. it is just plain wrong that middle-class americans pay a higher share of their income in taxes than some millionaires and billionaires. it is not that these folks are excited about the idea of paying more taxes. i have yet to meet people who just love taxes. nobody loves paying taxes. in a perfect world, nobody would have to pay taxes. we would have no deficits to pay down. school and bridges and roads and national defence and caring for our veterans would happen magically. we would all have the money we need to make investments in the things that help us grow. investments that have always been essential to the private sector success as well, not just important to the people directly benefit from these programs but historically, those investment we have made in infrastructure, education, science, technology, transportation -- that is part of what has made us an economic superpower and it would be nice not to have
